Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver Chocolate Mousse is a classic chilled dessert made by folding melted chocolate with whipped eggs and cream to create a smooth, airy consistency.

The dessert relies on careful folding and proper chilling to maintain its delicate structure.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

    • 3 large eggs (separated)

    • 60 g caster sugar

    • 200 ml double cream

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional:

    • Fresh berries

    • Grated chocolate

    • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Break chocolate into pieces and melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals.

Stir until smooth and allow it to cool slightly.

Avoid overheating to prevent grainy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Yolks

In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and creamy.

Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.

Mix until smooth.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.

The cream should hold shape but still be soft and smooth.

Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites

In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks appear.

Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue whisking until glossy peaks form.

This creates the airy structure of the mousse.

Step 5: Fold the Mixtures Together

Gently fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

Then carefully fold in the egg whites using slow, light motions.

This step keeps the mousse light and fluffy.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Garnish with berries, grated chocolate, or cocoa powder before serving.
